If you’ve made the life changing decision to move to a new country, you have selected to relocate to a foreign land.  In most cases, almost everything will be different in a new country.  The food, currency, people, living arrangements, social gatherings, jobs, vehicles, cultures and beliefs will all be different than what you are currently used to.  Although nothing can fully prepare you for this change, there are a few things that will absolutely make the adjustment run more smoothly.
